Activities

Opening lecture of the 2016-2017 academic year

There is ample opportunity to recharge your batteries through sports and cultural activities.

Sports

Geneva Academy students can practise a large number of sports at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), on both a recreational and competitive basis. From basketball, tennis and badminton to fitness, zumba, capoeira, golf, handball, hockey, judo, horse riding and climbing, you can discover something new or continue to practise an activity throughout the academic year.

Culture

If you are interested in the arts, theatre, music or the like, UNIGE cultural activities offer numerous possibilities: classical dance, contemporary dance, engraving, video, photography, creative writing, cinema, electronic music as well as many other courses. The UNIGE Orchestra and Choir also allow students to practise classical music during their stay at the Geneva Academy.

Ciné-Clubs

Every week the UNIGE Ciné-club screens films on a specific theme or by a particular filmmaker. The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies’ Ciné@IHEID series and Ciné-ONU also screen films, which are followed by a debate with leading experts.

A Vibrant Cultural Life

As a multicultural city with more than 180 nationalities, Geneva has a vibrant cultural life – a broad range of music concerts, music festivals, dance, opera, a variety of movies, art galleries, theatres and museums. A significant number of these cultural offers are accessible to English speakers.

Orientation Week

Accomodation

Various accomodation options are available for our students. As Geneva has a reliable public transport system which extends to all parts of the city, and even to neighbouring towns in France, you do not necessarily need to live close to our campus.

Visa

The knowledge I acquired at the Geneva Academy has proved extremely useful in my daily activities as a legal officer. And the fellow students I spent long hours in the library with are still among my closest friends.
